Each of the instruments in LoFi Dreams is designed to be expressive and playable,
providing helpful controls and macros allowing you to sculpt your sound and create
dynamic, expressive performances. As with all Falcon expansions, you have the ability to dig
beneath the surface into each sounds patch structure, to manipulate and reshape it in any
way you see fit.

MACROS
Same as Falcon Factory Content, LoFi Dreams’s patches

have been programed with macros which provide
users with easy access to the ‘key’ parameters of each
patch. LoFi Dreams also has a custom front panel which
is made with Falcon’s script feature. The parameters
are connected with the macros and these may be
controlled via MIDI, OSC, host automation and Lua
scripting, allowing for easy customization and expressive
performance capabilities.

PROGRAM INFORMATION
Press the (I) button in the upper right to display program
information. Many factory presets will contain details 2
about the program such as modwheel assignments,
macro descriptions or tips for playing it. You can add and
save descriptions for your own programs as well.

KEYBOARD
At the bottom of the Info tab, a keyboard is displayed and
2 can be clicked to play the program. The key range of the
program is highlighted, with keys outside the key range
darkened. If keyswitch layer rules have been created,
those keys are highlighted blue. Additionally, key color
can be customized using the Script Processor. For more
details on keyswitches, please check Falcon’s software
manual.

LAYERS OF A PATCH
Patches in Falcon are created within a fixed hierarchy that
can be thought of like layers or folders. At the very top is the 1
Program, inside the Program are Layers, within each Layer are
Keygroups, and inside the Keygroups are Oscillators. Audio
effects, MIDI effects and modulators can be placed on any
level. While patches can be as simple as a single oscillator, the
structure of Falcon allows for wildly complex sounds of nearly
any variety to be quickly created and edited.

information please consult the Falcon
software manual. KEYGROUP EDITOR
Keygroups are the ground level of your patch, they can

and velocity ranges trigger those oscillators. They also set
basic oscillator attributes like pitch and trigger modes. Like
the previous ‘folders’, keygroups can contain effects and
modulators, but there is one significant difference: effects
instanced at the keygroup level operate per-voice. This can
have fantastic effects, but comes at an additional CPU cost so
consider how you use it carefully.

INTERFACE » MAIN » EDIT
MAPPING EDITOR
The mapping editor allows you to define the note and velocity
4
ranges of the selected keygroup. A patch can be as simple
as one keygroup that spans all notes and velocities, or as
complex as your desired sound requires; there are no set
limits.

OSCILLATOR EDITOR
Falcon has many types of oscillators including sample-based

EDIT
and algorithmic. Here you can edit existing oscillators, change
them or add new ones.

MODULATION EDITOR
Modulators can be instanced at any of the levels mentioned

above and this particular editor provides a centralized view
of all of them - allowing editing of modulator parameters (e.g.
LFO speed, ADSR values etc.) along with their assignments.
All modulators in a patch are represented by tabs. Once
clicked, the modulators’ assignments are displayed directly
above the tab. Here you can edit how they effect the various

parameters they are assigned to in your patch.
